Well, all the militant atheist socialist projects haven’t existed in decades while AES is reconcilitory towards religion. Vietnam and Cuba still exist with Catholics running around while the Soviet Union/Yugoslavia/socialist Albania/socialist Romania are no more.
This is pretty conclusive that state atheism is at best not very important and at worst detrimental to the longevity of the socialist project.
Keld is wrong here, but the Catholics as a political force are definitely a detriment to Cuba currently. There does need to be more of a crackdown on reactionary institutions, just not summary execution of the clergy.

Trying to claim Castro and Mao for your “State atheism is bad actually” argument is farcical.
Noted liches Castro and Mao who still rule their countries from beyond the grave.
